wired/wireless security

[Robert Holtzman]

Recently got wireless working with a laptop on wireless and a hard wired 
desktop hardwired to the router. Logically(?) it seems as though the
security with the router's wireless function disabled would be 
equivalent to that of a computer hard wired directly to the modem, maybe 
better as going thru the router use the router's firewall in addition to 
the one internal to the computer. Not sure that isn't redundant.

Any opinions on my conclusion? The reason I post this is that 1)I'm 
leery of transmitting my bank or brokerage password over wireless and
2)I've been  wrong before (hard as that is to believe).
